PHCO_32116 corrupt and swremove/swinstall fails! help.

[NEIL COILS]

We have a 2 Node SG cluster at hp-ux 11.11 and somehow when we went to remove a 3rd party software depot it corrupted PHC0_32116, this in turn appears to have stopped swremove and swinstall from working. I can stop and start the swagentd daemon but if I try and do a swinstall/swremove it fails. I cant re-install the patch, so am really stuck - any ideas anybody? Please help! Swagent log attached.

Neil,

The logfile isn't a big one no real errors were writen to it. please can you try to install the patch with the options reinstall marked

if the errors are still there als try to unmark the enforce lines.

this you can do in the interactive UI.

grtz. mark

Hi Mark,

We have changed the options to try and force install/remove but the swagent daemon fails - no real error messages. Unfortunately our customer is calling the shots and wants the servers back to norm asap, even worse they have lost the Ignite tapes so we have had to start a rebuild of the servers from scratch. Thanks for your help.

Neil,

Good luck.
